Question

A garden has 50000 trees .12%of the trees are guava trees ,15% are orange trees,10% are coconut trees and the rest are mango trees .Find the number of mango trees.

Answer 1

50,000 x 12/100 = 6000 (guava tress)

50,000x 15/100 = 7500 ( orange tress )

50,000 x 10/100 = 5000 ( coconut tress )

add all the tress.

6000 + 7500 + 5000 = 18500

minus

50,000 - 18,500 = 31500.

number of mango tress are 31,500.
